MATH221 Final Exam Study Guide
YOU MAY WANT TO PRINT THIS GUIDE.
1. The Final Exam is open book and open notes. The maximum time you can spend in the exam is 3
hours, 30 minutes. If you have not clicked the Submit for Grading button by then, you will be exited from
the exam automatically. In the Final Exam environment, the Windows clipboard is disabled, so you will
not be able to copy exam questions or answers to or from other applications.
2. The exam automatically saves answers after you click to the next question. This helps prevent
connection timeouts that might occur with certain Internet service providers and also minimizes lost
answers in the event of connection problems. If your Internet connection does break, when you
reconnect, you will normally be able to get back into your Final Exam without any trouble. Remember,
though, that the exam timer continues to run while students are disconnected, so students should try to
log in again as quickly as possible. The Help Desk cannot grant any student additional time on the exam.
3. See the Syllabus section "Due Dates for Assignments & Exams" for due date information.
4. Reminders
You will only be able to enter your online Final Exam one time.
If you lose your Internet connection during your Final Exam, log on again and try to access it. If
you are unable to enter the Final Exam, first contact the Help Desk and then your instructor.
You will always be able to see the time remaining in the Final Exam.
5. Assessments With Multiple Pages
Complete all of the problems before submitting your Final Exam for instructor review.
Do NOT use your browser's Back and Forward buttons during the Final Exam.
Please use the provided links for navigation.
6. Submitting Your Final Exam
When you are finished with the Final Exam, click on the Submit for Grading button.

7. Exam Questions
There are 31 randomly selected short answer questions each worth a variety of points based on
their difficulty, for a total of 250 points.
The Final Exam covers all course TCOs and Weeks 1–7.
The Final Exam questions are randomly generated. This means that not everyone will have the
same questions. Even if you do have some of the same questions, they will likely not have the
same numbers. These questions are distributed among the TCOs.
, 8. Some of the key study areas are shown below. Although these are key areas, remember that the
exam is comprehensive for all of the assigned course content and this study guide may not be all-

9. Areas that were discussed in the Discussion areas will be prime targets.
10. Assignments will also be prime targets for revisiting.
11. Reviewing the TCOs, which are listed below for your convenience, will also be a great preparation for
the Final Exam.
1 Given a word problem or case study, and an accompanying data set which addresses a
business situation such as daily demand or monthly sales, use an appropriate sampling
method to determine a sample size, then calculate numerical summaries including
